3D Weaving

If you thought the technical side of handweaving was complicated and tedious, check out what some refer to as 3D weaving, or Deflection, Differential Shrinkage and Doubleweave. In the exploration of 3D weaving, you not only have to be advanced in handweaving, but then you add on the elements of color, yarn texture, fiber content, yarn gauge, weave structure and finishing technique. All these elements have an effect on the outcome of the final product. If you change one element, the final product is different every time. It's like a science experiment.

If you are interested in learning this technique, pro-weaver and teacher Ruby Leslie is coming to the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard MA from Sept 11-13. But make sure you apply early because there are very limited spots available and they fill up quickly! Click here to download more information on how to register.
